Society History

The Crow Wing County Genealogical Society was organized in 1977.

Society Purpose

To collect, preserve and disseminate information of genealogical and
related historical and biographical nature.

To establish and maintain for the use of its members and other researchers
interested in these subjects, a library of genealogical, local historical,
and biographical resources.

To hold meetings for instruction and pleasure of its members.

Society Resources

We combine our materials with that of the
Family History Center at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
The library includes a sizable collection of books, microfilm and microfiche.
We have a card file of obituaries indexed from Brainerd newspapers.
This file is not complete, however, but a work in progress.

Society Meetings

The Crow Wing County Genealogical Society has its regular meetings
on the fourth Thursday of March, May, September and October.
An informal social hour begins at 6:00 PM to allow members a chance
to visit and talk. The meeting, with program, is called to order
at 7:00 and adjourns at about 9:00. Elections for the coming year
are held at the October meeting. There are no meetings during the
holiday/winter months of November, December, January and February.

The meetings are usually held at the
Family History Center at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
101 W. Buffalo Hills Lane, Brainerd. On occasion the Society will
meet at another site if the program warrants it.

The Society also has informal Sharing and Research get-togethers on
the fourth Thursday of April, June, July and August, also at
the Family History Center, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. These events are
open to the general public so that non-members interested in genealogy
can come in and learn more about researching their family history.

Society Membership

A single membership is $10.00 and family membership is $12.00. The Society
publishes a quarterly newsletter, Heir Mail, which is
included in your membership. Advice and assistance are always available.
Research is done for a fee.
